Want of Learning

"An old and simple woman," said AEgidius, "if she loves Jesus, may be greater than was brother Bonaventure." Want of learning and disability to consider great secrets of theology do not at all retard our progress to spiritual perfections. Love to Jesus may be better promoted by the plainer understandings of honest and unlettered people than by the finer and more exalted speculations of great clerks that have less devotion.—Jeremy Taylor
